Thanks for the kind response. Much of the ideas that I pilfered were from the early paintings and (to a lesser degree) the early drafts of the Star Wars script, which was drastically different from the finished film. Vader very much seemed as though he could be a relic of the Clone Wars (which seemed in the far distant past to the film before the prequels came along). There's a lot of great stuff and unused ideas from this Star Wars prehistory...thanks again, man.

Thanks for the feedback. Grievous was certainly a challenge...I must say I enjoyed piecing together the base...though I may have balked at the attempt had I known how bloody long it would take me to sculpt. I'll be posting more stuff soon...thus far I have made ten Star Wars customs in this scale.

Thanks for commenting. It would have been nice to see at least *some* variation in the armour design...I'm sure that improvements in technology would have been made between Episode III and IV to warrant upgrades for Vader's life support system. I guess, perhaps, this design could be seen as a crude prototype for the more streamlines version seen in the films...an interesting take...I like it . Thanks again.

Thanks for the very kind feedback, man. I hope you enjoy some of my other work...not all of my takes on these designs are to everyone's tastes, but I certainly appreciate any feedback.

Thanks for the comments. I'll be perfectly honest...the lower set of hands are left that way out of sheer laziness. I had modded the top set (which were sculpted in a closed grip), and left modding the bottom set until later, since I wasn't sure how to modify the articulated fingers to match the top set. When it came time to prime the sculpt, I had forgotten to go back...when I noticed my oversite, I was so sick of working on this custom that I simply let it slide. Terrible, I know...one of these days I'll fix it up...and maybe give him a cloak. Thanks again, man.

Thanks for the feedback, man. One of the reasons why I made sure to snap some pics of Grievous in the early stages is that in order for the custom to work, I knew he'd have to be completely unrecognizable from the original base. I also wanted to keep track of my process more thoroughly. I'm glad I did. Thanks again.
